Himesh-Sonu war hots up!
But who is responsible for the fight?
NICOLE DASTUR Times News Network
After a number of catfights among our Bollywood beauties, now, there's another one to add to the list. But this one's not between two actors. In fact, it's not even between two women! Interestingly, it's between two of today's most popular singers â Sonu Nigaam and Himesh Reshammiya!
Both are currently touring in the US, doing a number of shows. However, according to sources, there's been hostility between the two for a while now. And things supposedly have got a little out of control right now. Apparently, Himesh told mediapersons that he's the better singer of the two and that Sonu's time as a singer has passed. It is believed that Himesh even accused Sonu of copying his look! (Sonu has been growing a beard for a while now.) All this irritated Sonu.
Apart from this, there's also growing competition between the two as far as their concerts in the US are concerned. Each singer's camp is claiming to be doing better than the other.
So what do the two singers have to say? Sonu told BT that he's aware of the accusations made by Himesh against him. "I don't want to comment on the issue. I never said anything against Himesh in the first place, so why should I indulge in this controversy? That will be cheap." When asked about whose concert is doing better, Sonu replies, "I'm not one to talk about my own concerts. People can
check
the internet to see the response for themselves." But does he feel intimidated by Himesh's success back home? "Himesh is a colleague and I respect all my colleagues. I never take my work or work-related issues home, so I don't wan't to talk about this."
When contacted, Himesh denied saying anything against Sonu. "There is absolutely nothing wrong between us. I respect him too much to say such unpleasant things about him. Besides, it's not in my character to do these sort of things. We have had no fight whatsoever, this is just some rumour that someone has started to cause friction between us," says Himesh. So whose concert is more successful? "I can't comment on Sonu's shows because I don't know the facts, but I can say with justification that my shows were a huge success. And I'm not just saying it to show off. Go to the internet and check, all the tickets for all my shows Pushan were sold out. I performed to packed audiences. That is a fact. I have worked extremely hard to get to where I am today. Baseless rumours such as these, that are created by people really upset me," says an angry Himesh. Whether or no the singers admit, clearly the competition is getting fierce. Of course, this is not something we can check on the internet!
